GAMES TO SAVOR:

Dallas at Los Angeles Lakers (9:30 p.m. Monday, TNT): Lamar Odom has switched teams and his wife, Khloe Kardashian probably pines to watch games with the beautiful people at the Staples Center. But this rematch of last season’s Western Conference semifinals will be intriguing, as will Andrew Bynum’s first crack since then at the Mavericks.

San Antonio at Miami (6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Fox Sports Southwest): The Spurs might have a better shot at their first road victory than expected — particularly if Dwyane Wade can’t play.

San Antonio at Orlando (6 p.m., Wednesday, Fox Sports Southwest): The end end of the Spurs’ back-to-back will be difficult, particularly with their lack of inside depth and Dwight Howard looming on the other side.

Philadelphia at Miami (6:30 p.m., Saturday): Surprising Sixers have the league’s third best record, but will be looking to snap nine-game losing streak at Miami.

GAMES TO AVOID:

Sacramento at Minnesota (7 p.m., Monday): Which team struggled more in its last game? Sacramento with a 23-point first half, or Minnesota, which squandered an 18-point lead late in the third quarter in loss at Atlanta.

Golden State at Cleveland (6 p.m., Tuesday): Cavaliers can’t get home quick enough in their first game back after seven-game roadie against Warriors team depleted with injuries to Stephen Curry and Kwame Brown.

Phoenix at Chicago (7 p.m., Tuesday): Remember when the Suns were challengers for the Western Division title. Was it really only two seasons ago?

Golden State at New Jersey (6:30 p.m., Wednesday): Maybe Dwight Howard will take pity on one of these bottom feeders by joining them in a trade-deadline deal. At least they can hope.

Charlotte at New Jersey (5:30 p.m., Sunday): At the start of the week, the Nets are the league’s only team without a home victory. They might have a shot in this one against the struggling Bobcats, who have only one road win this season.
